error when selecting a mystery opponent

Error 5 at pgm-ctr 13865

This occured when I was trying to select a Mystery Opponent for the last match on a card.  All matches were a guy under contract in the circuit vs a Mystery Opponent.  The first 4 matches booked without a problem.  (Yes, this was a TNM-RG circuit.)

I don't remember if this causes Error 5 or some other error, but every once in a great, great while when I import new guys, trying to book them into a match or call up their stats using the - key will crash tnm. If this is the problem you're experiencing, the solution is to load them up in Edit Wrestler, fix any obvious errors, fill in any missing data fields, then save. Sometimes just loading then saving them fixes the error.

Since you're using 'm' you might not know what wrestler caused the crash, but there's probably some datafile in your circuit directory that lists the wrestlers you were using. Find Text within Files (or grep, if you prefer) and the TNM Plugin Programmer's Reference are your tools here.

Might be worth going down your whole list of Wrestlers and hitting hyphen to call up their stats and make sure none of them crash the game. This malady seems to happen more often with old (TNM7FE, TNM6) exports than with newer ones.
